I am trying to make a TideSDK application that cannot be closed and minimizes to the system tray.
I have the system tray part figured out for the most part, but when I specify "closeable" in tiapp.xml it doesn't do anything. i.e. I still see the "close" button and it closes the app entirely.
<window>
<id>someApp</id>
<title>Alerts</title>
<url>app://index.html</url>
<width>800</width>
<max-width>800</max-width>
<min-width>800</min-width>
<height>600</height>
<max-height>600</max-height>
<min-height>600</min-height>
<fullscreen>false</fullscreen>
<resizable>false</resizable>
<chrome scrollbars="false">true</chrome>
<maximizable>false</maximizable>
<minimizable>true</minimizable>
<closeable>false</closeable>
</window>
How to make it not closeable?
Have a look at this solution - https://gist.github.com/4639473
I've learned that the most flexible way to manage an app that "minimizes/closes to systray" is to use a hidden main window that launches a secondary window.
Secondary windows appear to be more flexible, plus you have the ability to manage them from the main hidden window.
This is all I left in my main window's code:
<head>
<script src="app://js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
Ti.UI.currentWindow.hide();
var alert_window = Ti.UI.createWindow({
id: "alertWindow",
url: "app://alert.html",
title: "My New Window",
baseURL: "app://alert.html",
x: 100,
y: 100,
width: 500,
minWidth: 500,
maxWidth: 500,
height: 500,
minHeight: 500,
maxHeight: 500,
maximizable: true,
minimizable: true,
center: true,
closeable: false,
resizable: false,
fullscreen: false,
maximized: false,
minimized: false,
usingChrome: false,
topMost: true,
visible: true,
transparentBackground: false,
transparency: false
});
alert_window.open();
alert_window.setTopMost( true );
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
